Whooping Cough
Why Some Experts Say Pregnant Women Should Reconsider Many Vaccinations
Driving to the Santa Fe, New Mexico health food co-op, I was surprised to hear a “public service announcement” on a local radio station encouraging pregnant women to get the whooping cough (pertussis) vaccination during their third trimester of pregnancy in order “to confer that immunity to their newborns”. Recommended by the CDC, of course.
The pertussis vaccination is usually packaged as DTaP or Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Pertussis vaccine. So adverse side effects, short or long term, are tripled.
